312 APPENDIX. 



Charles Verdier highly eulogises Alexandre de Humboldt ; and 

 that Eugene Verdier, who has sent us so many gems, such as 

 Madame Caillat^ Madame Charles Wood^ Pri7ice Camille de Rohan, 

 Mada?fie V. Verdier, Dr A?idry, and the Marechal, commends to 

 us Ferdiiiand de Lesseps, General Grajtt, Lena Turfier, Louisa and 

 Susafifia Wood, and Thomas Methve?i, a seedling from Charles 

 Lefebvre. 



Of the English raisers, Mr Turner of Slough, who sent out his 

 charming but somewhat coy Miss Lngram, announces Lord 

 Napier (a fine seedling from Victor Verdier), which I have seen 

 and admired much \ together with Miss Poole, described as 

 silvery rose, large, full, and of perfect form. 



All these Roses I should commend to those who can afford to 

 buy them, lest they should miss a prize. To those who, like 

 myself, must run this risk, whether they like it or no, I should 

 propose the following selection : Abbe Giraudier (a seedling from 

 Louise Peyro7iJiey), Charles Turner, Ferdinand de Lesseps, General 

 de La7nartiniere, General Miloradowitsch, Lora Napier, Louis Van 

 LLoutte, and Madeinoiselle Euge?iie Verdier, together with Candide, 

 Cotfitesse d' Oxford, Marquise de Castellain, Marquise de Lig?ieries, 

 and Paul Neron, not in Mr Cant's list, but commended by my 

 own eyes, or by the lips of reliable Rosarians, as being the belles 

 of the new debutafites.
